khizan ka jo gulshan se pad jae pala
to sehn-e-chaman mein na gul ho na lala

liya tere aashiq ne barson sambhaala
bahut kar gaya marne wala kasala

pae-fateha hath uthawega koi
sar-e-turbat-e-bekasan aane wala

isi girya ke tar se meri aankhen
bana dengi naddi baha dengi nala

bitha kar tumhein shama ke pas dekha
tum aankhon ki putli wo ghar ka ujala

khat-e-shauq ko padh ke qasid se bole
ye hai kaun diwana khat likhne wala

diya hukm saqi ko pir-e-mughan ne
pai-e-muhtasib jam-o-mina utha la

ye sunte hi mai-khwar bole khushi se
hamin sa hai ye nek allah wala

haqiqat mein 'sail' ne zauq-e-adab se
jahan tak uchhaala gaya nam uchhaala
